Production
Herbs and Lettuce let us start harvesting in 4-6 weeks. Four lettuce plants give us on average four small salads a week and keep good production for months. Harvesting one leaf at a time (every third full leaf) is our best picking approach. I tried cutting the whole head (one plant) it took two weeks to grow back to harvest stage. Once in production we need to add water every 2-3 days.
One Tomato plant in production needs water every two days and took 90 days to start good production. Looking to add at least one water reservoir once they get back in stock.
Just got an update on the water reservoir they are in stock now and we have at least one on the way. Also below is our plant in full production.
Finally received a aero water reservoir and it works:) Took a trip and stayed away four nights so hooked it up to our tomato plant. When we came home there was still a quart of water in the reservoir and the garden tank still was full. This tell's me we can go away four up to 6 nights and the full production plant will be fine.
If we split the reservoir between two gardens we can generally expect 3 days/nights away for each. We have two 6 hole harvest gardens and one 3 hole sprout garden that will not be hooked up to this resivor.
